I just found some hidden links when i was looking in the source code

  • 0

I just found some hidden links when i was looking in the source code for a site i am building i Joomla when i found som hidden spam links.

I have used an hour trying to find them within some of the template files without luck. the links are following (from html source code):

<div id="jxtc-zt"><a href="http://magical-place.ru/" target="_blank" 
title="достопримечательности Европы">достопримечательности Европы</a></br><a 
href="http://joomla-master.org/" target="_blank" title="шаблоны Joomla 3.5">шаблоны  Joomla
3.5</a></div>

And this:

</div><div id="jxtc-zt"><a href="http://battlefield4.com.ua/" target="_blank" 
title="Battlefield 4">Battlefield 4</a><br><a href="http://www.absolut.vn.ua/" 
target="_blank" title="минеральные воды">минеральные воды</a></div></div></div>

Have you any suggestions how to find out where they are created?

It is probably obfuscated in some way?

Thanks

    If you can’t find word “Battlefield” in any of site’s documents, try searching for (without quotes) :

    "QmF0dGxlZmllbGQ=" (Base64 representation), 
"426174746c656669656c64" (Hexademical representation),
"&#66;&#97;&#116;&#116;&#108;&#101;&#102;&#105;&#101;&#108;&#100;" (ASCII).

    These would be most common ways to encode it.

    If still no luck, then locate the code manually: delete small chunks of code in the main template file ( index.php most commonly ) and watch, if the unwanted link disappeared after delete. If it did – you have found the code, that is responsible for it.
